I am currently running an 8 port NVR: DS-7608NI-I2 / 8P

I'm having so much fun with my cameras, I want to upgrade to the 16 port model: DS-7616NI-I2/16P

Ideally I would like to backup the config from the 8 port unit, move the two hard drives over and restore the configuration onto the 16 port model.

Does anyone know if that will work, or blow it up or anything?
